Club 2000 is a sport and leisure club for people with disabilities, including learning disabilities, who live in Telford and Wrekin and beyond! Membership Fees Membership to Club 2000 is £60 for a whole year, and our year starts in April and finishes the next March. You can either pay the whole lot in one go in April, or you can pay £30 in April and £30 in September.Club 2000 is totally independent and not part of the local authority and receives no funding from them or any other statutory organisation. The Club is run and funded entirely membership subscriptions, by volunteers giving their time free and with monies raised by members and volunteers along with any charitable donations from supporters businesses.

This is carried out for us by Telford and Wrekin Council's Youth Development Team.Club meets on Thursdays at the Oakengates Leisure Centre from 6.30 - 9.00 p.m.Our 'programme' of activities on a typical Club night goes like this:6.30 - 7.30 Swimming session. The swimming team trains for the first half hour of this session, while everyone else has fun in the water. There are volunteers and carers in the water with the members, at least one volunteer on the poolside as well as the Centre's own lifeguards.6.30 - 7.30 Gym SessionCoach Leighmarie Denley runs our gym session in the Nrgize suite which is upstairs at the end of the gym itself. Leighmarie is supported by Em and this is a very popular session.7.00 - 8.00 (ish) Drama SessionThe Drama group meets in the Tennis Centre (at the back of the Leisure Centre) and rehearses for it's panto in the winter months or the annual variety show in the summer months.

Members can also play pool and darts if they want to.8.00 - 9.00 Five-a-side football Five-a-side football in the sports hall. Football volunteer Ian Preece and his team of football volunteers somehow manage to sort out 30 or so members into teams and make sure that everyone who wants to play gets to do so.At 9.00 It's time to pack everything away and leave The Studio clean and tidy.
